Total interaction : theory and practice of a new paradigm for the design disciplines

Interactivity is the catchword for a wide range of innovative solutions that concept designers and engineers are developing in every area of technology and culture. For the authors interaction is more than a technological or aesthetic concept, it is a new means to ally humans and technology in a dynamic and reciprocal form of "living in technology". This publication gathers together scientists and contributors from diverse fields of activity, providing a fascinating, up-to-date survey of the technological and conceptual equipment of experts engaged in aesthetic disciplines and product design. The editor, Professor Gerhard M. Buurman, is Head of Interactiondesign at the University of Art, Media and Design (HGKZ) in Zurich. Unter dem Stichwort der Interaktivitt arbeiten heute Designer, Ingenieure und Konzepter an innovativen Lsungen fr alle Bereiche der Technik und Kultur. Interaktivitt beschreibt eine dynamische und wechselseitig wirkende Kooperation von Mensch und Technik und sie bedingt ein neues Denken unter der realistischen Annahme von einem Leben in Technik. Das Buch fhrt Wissenschaftler und Menschen aus ganz unterschiedlichen Praxisbereichen zusammen und gibt einen spannenden und aktuellen berblick ber das technologische und konzeptionelle Rstzeug von Experten, die im Bereich der sthetischen Disziplinen arbeiten und Produkte gestalten. Der Herausgeber Professor Gerhard M. Buurman ist Head of Interactiondesign an der HGKZ.
